Fremont Oktoberfest 5K and Street Scramble

On September 23rd the annual Fremont Oktoberfest Brew Ha-Ha 5K is back for it’s 10th race and the Street Scramble is back too!

5K Race:

The picturesque race will once again start in the heart of Fremont at Solstice Plaza and the runners will take in the sights and sounds of Seattle on the Burk Gilman Trail. The Fremont community will benefit from registration proceeds and the best part is that the runners will be greeted at the finish line by the beer garden!

Here is an insider’s secret for all you runners that like to enjoy a brew. After the race, you will be the exclusive group that gets to savor the taste of delicious beers before the gates officially open! For one hour you will have the Fremont Village Beer Garden all to yourselves. As an even bigger bonus there is no entrance fee!

Don’t forget that there is a Beer Belly and team divisions. Gather your friends and family and see who can make it to the beer garden first. Teams can be any size, but the four fastest runners’ times will be averaged to determine the winners.

Racers are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the Fremont Oktoberfest by wearing a dirndl or lederhosen. The traditional German garb adds the extra flare to the race. So, get inspired and create a team of dirndl/lederhosen wearing racers!

One last thing, leg up on your competition by practicing on racecourse before the starting gun fires!
